MacFarlane Energy Founder, Peter MacFarlane, was born in Boston's South End in 1919. Son to a widowed mother of three, Peter began working in the oil business at the age of 12. He worked part time, after school, delivering oil in five-gallon cans. Following his service in the Pacific Theatre of World War II, Peter returned to the oil business he had worked for before the war.

A Needham resident, Scott works alongside his wife of 50 years, Cathy, and son Scott E.

For four years, starting in 2012, John was under active surveillance for elevated PSA levels. Biopsy and other tests confirmed a prostate cancer diagnosis. At the time of his diagnosis, John was Dana-Farber's Vice President of Finance. He has since retired. Two years after his diagnosis, a second biopsy indicated faster progression. John underwent surgery to remove his prostate, but his cancer had spread. John’s treatment included hormone and radiation therapy, and active monitoring. John was in remission for a year when his PSA levels came back elevated, and his cancer returned. John underwent more treatment and active monitoring. John completed radiation last September.
